Cooking up a cultural treat

Meanwhile, a dough art exhibition in Taiyuan showcases 300 delicately crafted dough sculptures. Running through to Sept 8, it has five themed sections, including the 24 solar terms, the 12 zodiac animals and important moments in life. The 2.5-meter-tall giant huamo (decorated steamed bun) is the largest item of the exhibition, and features dragons soaring above colorful flowers to the sky.
